Bodegas Casa La Rad, Casa La Rad White 2017	93 View from the Cellar The Casa La Rad estate bottling of Rioja Blanco also utilized chardonnay in its cépages, with the blend here fifty percent chardonnay, thirty percent malvasia and twenty percent viura, with all of the varieties barrel-fermented and raised for a full year in new French oak casks. The 2017 version comes in at thirteen percent octane and delivers a lovely, new oaky bouquet of pear, apple, lemon blossoms, chalky minerality, citrus peel and a well-done foundation of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with excellent focus and balance, a lovely core, bright acids and a long, new oaky and complex finish. The new oak here is done with a very, very deft touch. Fine, fine juice. 2022-2045. 92 OwenBargreen.com 2017 Casa La Rad Rioja Blanco- The outstanding 2017 Casa La Rad Rioja Blanco is drinking right at its peak.
